This has to be one of the craziest things you've come up with. This is the perfect example of how modular Bitwig can go. Love it :)

[@Emily_M81]

LEGOs for music. It's LEGOs for music. Following along, I was surprised that I could type in notes for the EQ bands. But then mine aren't showing the same frequencies as yours. It gave me 80Hz for D#0, 160Hz for D#1m etc... (I figured it out, will leave the original comment in case someone else has trouble. You have to make sure to also remove 'Hz' or it won't pick up the well, Hz of the entered note lol) this is f'ing brilliant though. Ambient producers *hate him* use this one weird trick to modulate the F out of everything.

[@pbrninja19]

I'm really impressed with the internal engineering of Bitwig that when we ask it to do something like this, it actually handles it great.

[@msp420]

ok this is pure madness and I can't wait to try this technique.

[@williamshaneblyth]

your videos are always facinating. i honestly dont play these types of sounds in my style of music but im fascinated by how you comeup with and workout these types of things. Been watching for years and always look forward to learning from your next video. Keep up the good videos. its appreciated and one day ill use some of this stuff i learn so much from you .

[@paraciteofficial8155]

Wow nice thanks for this polarity. I wanted to try this after watching it on virtual riots stream. But the way you execute things in Bitwig is always so elegant and beautiful

[@alienecho9634]

I love that you get inspired by the latest VR videos. Great video

[@PolarityMusic]

thanks 💪

[@lackLUFSter]

tried this out yesterday and the only downside is the CPU hit. If you wanted to use this on multiple channels, you’d be using 16 voices every time an instance is made which really punishes the CPU. Also worth noting that the output signal gets multiplied by however many voices you’re using, so you’ll need to attenuate the gain down quite a bit to level match

[@PolarityMusic]

yea its very heavy on the cpu. i think you can use a "voice tog" on the output of the grid, and then just select voice one to remove the doubling of the voices. i hope they optimize this voice stacking a bit more and increase the number 😅

[@gu_u.]

this is Virtual Riot's chain made easy in bitwig :)

[@introCvideos]

This looks to be incredibly fun space to try and learn new things

[@jumpstar9000]

Hah, so cool. It sounds a bit like tuning a shortwave receiver in sideband mode. Pretty inspirational for other stuff. Thanks!

[@trashtvtrashwatch3200]

The movement of the bells reminds me of the max4live slink filter somehow - maybe recreatable with this technique?

[@kriss12loverap]

i iwsh this was how max for live was, this workflow matches my wavelength a bit more as a producer.

[@williamshaneblyth]

yes and i hear max can be quite instable at times.

[@shaboogen]

It's also worth noting that multiple LFOs aren't tied to each other, so if you wanted to use 3 classic LFOs in random mode on an FX Grid set to 8 stacked voices, you will get 24 independent random LFOs. This certainly makes creating mass randomisation significantly easier to set up and contain. Great tip.

[@PolarityMusic]

yes!

[@mudi2000a]

Nice Idea! However I think it would have been better to make the EQ +/- dB adjustable with a macro, +- 30 dB is imo just excessive. Maybe I worked too much with analog stuff in the past but it is triggering me when I see a limiter applying -30 dB

[@PolarityMusic]

yea sure, its just for the video to show the technique :)

[@kriss12loverap]

if bitplug just could simplifhy the interface and make it more minimal on the eyes, and a bit more smooth. and scale feature with midi editor devices in roll like 11.0 . that would be neat. i would love to piece togethere things this way. personally i want the program to have more features towards modulating things relative to key.

[@williamshaneblyth]

im 66 with bad eyes i have no visual issues there is a custom program to edit how it all looks colours etc new skins have you tried that some people prefer a real dark mode you can also turn panels on and off its to cluttered for you

[@kriss12loverap]

@@williamshaneblyth ITS IN THE UI, IN MY OPINION IT TAKES UP MORE SPACE THAN IT NEEDS TO, ITS ALLOT OF BORDERS AROUND THE UI ON FX. GOT AN OLD MAC TOO, ABLETON RUNS FASTER ON IT EVEN THE NEWEST VERSION. BITWIG TO ME IS LIKE ABLETON, BUT FATTER UI. THE ONLY THING IS THAT BITWIG HAS THE GRID. AND STOCK MODULATORS INTGRATED INTO EVERY DEVICE. PROBABLY DOESNT USE AS MUCH CPU AS LFO IN ABLETON DO.. BUT IT ABLETON WE LITTERALLY GOT MAX FOR LIVE...

[@MrJazz251]

Moin. ich versuche gerade das nach zu bauen. bei 1:34 kann ich die stimmen nicht abwählen vom voice tog. hast du eine idee was ich falsch mache?

[@PolarityMusic]

Hast du das hinbekommen? Was geht denn nicht? Also wenn du voice stacks aktiviert hast und du nich im "modulations zuweise modus" bist, sollte man das abwählen können.

[@lokologico]

This blows my mind! Amazing...

Would it be possible to make something like Wavesfactory Equaliizer with this type of technique?

kinda, but the hard part is to analyze the incoming sound. but i can try :)

[@lawinter1949]

@@PolarityMusic I know it would hard to have all 32 bands and getting it adjust the signal to closer to pink noise but each band could have its own audio sidechain mod tuned to the same band as the effect band. Possible???

yea sure possible

He's gotta play the KZbin algorithm game just like any other content creator.. although I sometimes wish there'd be more videos like "Here's how artist X created Song Y, and here's how you can recreate that in Bigwig".

[@personalpass]

@@toavnwub Of course, that’s super awesome ! I was just wondering if it was a coincidence or not

[@toavnwub]

@@touarec very true

[@PolarityMusic]

yes and no. it was more inspired by the "slink" m4l patch. the bitwig community did similar things back when the morph eq came out and when EQ+ was released (applying crazy modulations). but it became interesting again with youtube bc of vr. so yea kinda both :)

Oh no! What are you doing, step-modulator?! 😯 No, seriously - In many of your videos you get to a point where i think: "Has science gone to far?! 😅" And then my brain makes an herculean effort to keep up and then it grows another bulge and i emerge on the other end with a tiny bit of better comprehension of the universe and everything. ☺

We need a new word for 'insanity'. As stating "this is just insane" does not do the justice! :-) Bitwig is beyond 'insane'. 'Bigsane' perhaps? 🙂

[@sherwoodd1]

I think Bitwig is getting to point where it’s way too gimmicky and just way over the top. Half the shit you don’t need. So what if you modulate the modulated and then modulate again..lol i don’t see it all that practical in making a track, you just waste time in making the beat.

[@PolarityMusic]

It depends on your style, and I'm only showing possibilities here. You don't need to do that, but you can. If all you want is a simple beat and a chord progression, then you don't even need to touch the modulation matrix. It's all dependent on the context.
